“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Mathematics Emphasis Courses

The Master of Science in Education is a FULLY ONLINE program. The four Mathematics courses will be offered completely online during the summer semester. All Education courses are offered online during the fall and spring semesters. 

Southwest Minnesota State University is offering a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis on mathematics. The Mathematics emphasis is appropriate for licensed secondary (7-12th) mathematics teachers who wish to pursue graduate coursework in mathematics education and high school teachers seeking credentialing for concurrent enrollment courses.

This emphasis provides educators with an in-depth understanding and practical application to the mathematics they teach and the processes involved in learning and leadership through research-based coursework. You can either earn 18 credits in Mathematics through the credentialing option or take 37 credits to earn a Master of Science in Education with a Mathematics emphasis. This two-year program offers online Mathematics courses during the summer and core courses in online education during the fall and spring semesters. Teachers seeking concurrent enrollment credentialing and not an entire Master's degree will only need to take the four Mathematics courses.
